Hello everyone. How do I turn a photo into black and white whilst retaining one colour?
Now it worked. Not sure why?
I’ve investigated this for at least a couple of hours to no avail. Windows 11, Lightroom Creative Cloud version 9.2. All of a sudden the app simply won’t open. The little progress circle appears next to the cursor, and after a couple of seconds it disappears and Lightroom hasn’t loaded. I sits in Task Manager under Background Processes, with status “Suspended”. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled both Lightroom and Creative Cloud. I’ve updated graphics drivers and I’ve read that could be the issue. Nothing has resolved this yet. What is going on? I’m currently paying for software that refuses to open.
I have been able to move back and forth from 1 image to another by using the > and < keys, but this no longer seems to work. I have also used Fn + > without effect. Any suggestions?
Outlines like this are around every area I click. I’m on my windows pc and I don’t remember this before.
My Mac’s hard drive is maxed out - so much so that I can’t do the latest OS update. I’ve already deleted old LR Classic libraries and am looking around to see what I can free up. I don’t use LR on the web or mobile/iPad - can I delete the 1gb’s worth of Mobile Downloads.lrdata without mucking anything else up? Any other suggestions how to free up LR or Adobe-related space? I’ve already deleted Photoshop as I rarely use it and can re-install it if I need it.Thanks in advance
Every time I try to select subject Lightroom either says it can't be found or does something very weird with the mask, screenshot included. The red lines across are what it has done to select that subject. I have never had this issue before so I assume it's a bug.
Please change Lightroom so it JUST OPENS THE FILE if you previously worked with it in Lightroom.It is not helpful that if you try to open a previously worked file all that happens is a message: Previously Added. Fantastic! How about OPENING THE FILE?Instead the user has to go hunt for the image in the Lightroom Library. Lightroom of course knows where it is ,,, it found it and said: Previously Added instead of JIST OPENING THE FILE.The user has to determine the date. Now navigated into the Lightroom Library where there may be hundreds of images to sift through for a particular day.It is a five minute waste of User time to hunt for the image and then open it in from the Library. When all Lightroom has to do is OPEN THE FILE that it already located in the Library.I have this waste of time and efficiency over and over and over. I regularly need to re-crop photos for other needs, or adjust color, or simply opened it in Lightroom days, weeks, ago and decided not to use it then and now nee
I have been processing my pictures in Lr Classic, with good results. I wanted to take advantage of the generative expand feature, so I switched to the cloud-based Lr for one image I was dismayed to learn that I could not then open or export my expanded image in or to Lr Classic, but figured I would just process and print from Lr. I was further dismayed to learn that there was no print module in cloud Lr, but that I would have to export the image to my computer (a Macbook Pro M4) and print from there. However, the exported image is of appallingly poor quality for the A3-sized print I want to make. Playing around with the limited settings in the export module did not significantly improve the results. Am I missing something? Is there a way to export a sharp, high-quality, high pixel image from cloud Lr?
Lightroom for Android supports HDR editing in all HDR capable google pixels aside from the Pixel 10 series, even though the screen technology is the same as what was found in the previous 9 series which is supported. Could you add this feature to these newer devices?
I'm having trouble opening NEF files from a Nikon Z8 on a Windows ARM machine in Lightroom. I've verified the same file opens just fine on a Windows Intel machine. Z8 with up-to-date firmware, taking photos with "raw only" Lightroom v7.4.1 (most up to date according to the creative cloud updater) by-hand insta;led Adobe Camera RAW (v16.4 from AdobeCameraRaw_arm64_16_4.exe) Downloaded and installed Nikon's RAW plugins, though I do not think those are ARM (and I can't tell if they are working). I see: In lightroom's review for import window a warning icon for each NEF file with a mouse-over message "this file does not contain a supported format (or it might be damaged). The icons in windows show up with the complete picture Opening the pictures in windows at first shows the proper image but then goes all technicolor lines on me. I see same error in Adobe's DNG converter and photoshop (both of which have ARM versions) I suspect the windows and LightRoom issues are
Adobe needs to include IPTC information in the file INFO in Lr CC. This is the industry standard for file information and a requirement of most photo agencies, so why isn't it in CC? Cloud storage is great but without IPTC it's not of much use to those submitting to an agency.
Hello! I have a subscription for the "Lightroom 1TB" for almost one year and I mostly use Lightroom Mobile (Android) and web cloud based version. However in the last few days my Android Lightroom app has most of the tools blocked ("greyed", or actually it appears with a blue icon with a star inside), as if I were using a free version. I can use all the tools normally in web cloud version, but the Android app just won't allow me to use the tools, even though I'm logged in the same Adobe account. My current app version is v10.5.4. Already tried deleting cache and reinstalling the app, but didn't work.Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello,I am facing a critical issue with my Adobe cloud storage and Lightroom (Cloud-based desktop version). My cloud storage is currently showing 21.0 GB used out of 20 GB, which has completely frozen my account and synchronization.Because of this over-quota status, I am experiencing a massive "phantom storage" UI bug on adobe.com and within the Creative Cloud desktop app. Every time I open folders like "Cloud Documents" (Projekty), "Synced Files" (Twoje pliki), or "Deleted" (Usunięte), the list of files flashes on the screen for a split second and then immediately disappears, displaying a "Folder is empty" message.Because the interface keeps hiding the files, I am completely unable to select them and click "Permanently Delete" to free up my space.Here is what I have already tried (none of it worked):Lightroom Desktop App: Cleared cache and permanently deleted 1,084 sync errors via Lightroom Web. The "Deleted" folder in Lightroom shows 0 images, but the cloud usage remains at 21.0 GB.
I pay for a subscription mainly to access community presets in the recommended tab. You changed this section to no longer include the sub categories (dark, warm, cinematic, etc). No idea why you’d remove that. Without it I won’t have a need for a paid subscription any longer
Hello,The sensor on my Nikon Z5II has a few burnt pixels caused by a DJ laser. They are dead—showing up as red dots—and appear in every photo. Replacing the sensor would be the only real solution, but given the cost, I tried using a Lightroom preset instead. The problem is that the defect doesn't appear in exactly the same spot depending on the focal length and lens used, so the preset isn't effective. I started creating presets for my prime lenses and that works well, but it’s not feasible for zoom lenses.Lightroom has a dust removal tool; it’s a shame there isn't a similar feature for dead pixels. Does anyone know of a batch processing technique to remove this defect?
I have the same issue that other users. Lightroom CC is stuck on "Syncing items" on the Windows 11 desktop.I have about 30 000 pictures. It is supposed to download all my original files locally to my secondary drive (D:). There is plenty of free space on my target drive (D:).iPad is fine, fully synced and backed-up.I have uninstalled Lightroom CC then reinstalled and it didn’t solve the issue.Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?Thank you for your help!

When naming a person Lightroom pops up a face and asks if it is the same person. The picture shown is just the face, and it is not very clear or else there would not be any question.The choices are Yes / no. please add a way to view the complete picture(s) of the face in question as part of the choices. Now I have to say NO then search for the picture to be sure.
I bought iPad Pro, but I can't add captions to multiple photos at once, something I can do on Samsung devices
When I play a slideshow of my latest album addition to the web, all of the TOPAZ Adjustments are written across the top of each photo. What did I do wrong and how to eliminate

Try the new Feather and Edge sliders for more control, better creative effects, and smoother transitions when masking.The latest release brings improvements to the Masking panel sliders: Feather and Edge. Together, they give you more control over how a mask blends into your photo, so you can get smoother transitions, better creative effects, and results that look natural straight out of the gate. New Masking Tools:However you build a mask — Select Subject, Select Sky, Select People, a hand-painted Brush stroke, or a Range Mask — the edge of that mask is what makes or breaks the edit. A boundary that's too hard reads as "obviously edited." A selection that's slightly off grabs a bit too much background, or misses a sliver of your subject. Feather and Edge let you fix both in seconds, right in the panel you're already working in. Spend less time troubleshooting the edges of your mask, and more time on the creative part of the edit.How it Works:Feather softens the edges of your mask, so a
